Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract This study aims to investigate the effects of the position correction of size‐specific dose estimates (SSDE) on patient dose estimation in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The relationship between the phantom position and absorbed dose in the right breast was studied using optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters and a simulated human

Hounsfield-based Automatic Evaluation of Volumetric Breast Density on Radiotherapy CT-Scans [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Radiotherapy is an integral part of treatment for many patients with breast cancer. However, side effects can occur, Example fibrosis or erythema. If patients at higher risks of radiation induced side effects could be identified before treatment, they could be given more individual information about the risks and benefits of radiotherapy.

Optimization Strategies for Beam Direction and Dose Distribution Selection in Radiotherapy Planning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Radiotherapy planning is a critical aspect of cancer treatment, where the optimal selection of beam directions and dose distributions significantly impacts treatment efficacy and patient outcomes. Traditionally, this process involves time-consuming manual trial-and-error methods, leading to suboptimal treatment plans.

Factors Affecting Implementation of Radiological Protection Aspects of Imaging in Radiotherapy
Applied Sciences, 2023 Dramatic improvements in radiotherapy equipment have allowed radiation fields to be conformed to tumours for more accurate treatment. Successful delivery often requires imaging at every treatment fraction, a method known as image guided radiation therapy

Radiotherapy planning for glioblastoma based on a tumor growth model: Improving target volume delineation [PDF]
, 2013 Glioblastoma are known to infiltrate the brain parenchyma instead of forming a solid tumor mass with a defined boundary. Only the part of the tumor with high tumor cell density can be localized through imaging directly.

Treatment planning in molecular radiotherapy
Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik, 2013 In molecular radiotherapy a radionuclide or a radioactively labelled pharmaceutical is administered to the patient. Treatment planning therefore comprises the determination of activity to administer. This administered activity should maximize tumour cell sterilization while minimizing normal tissue damage.
